In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 461 A credit falls from the sky

Dong Jun didn't even want to start a war with the Song Army today. He just wanted to get close and burn the grain ships on the shore of the Song Army.

Now there are only more than thirty steps away from their shooting range, but it has become extremely difficult to enter these thirty steps.

He stared blankly behind him as many Mongolian soldiers rushed forward in waves, and then fell down one after another.

In this era, using infantry battalions to charge flintlock guns was tantamount to giving away a person's head.

The only hope of victory is to rely on the numbers to defeat the Song army's flintlock guns.

But Dong Jun didn't have enough men and horses, and there were 600 flintlock guns on the opposite side.

The Song army only fired about ten rounds, and only fired 6,000 rounds.

The Mongolian army had seven or eight hundred dead and wounded who fell to the ground and could not get up.

On average, the Song Army needed close to ten shots to defeat one person.

Dong Jun saw with his own eyes that an arrow hit the Song Army's helmet and was bounced away.

Dong Jun immediately saw Song Jun's weakness.

The efficiency was relatively low in this era, but unable to withstand the continuous flow of flintlock guns, the Mongolian army had no hope of rushing forward.

The Mongolian army's arrows shot over one after another, and the Song army either raised their shields or lowered their heads.

The ground was now covered with dead and wounded within forty to sixty steps, and very few could rush through this area.

Although everyone can see that the leader Dong Jun is in front, everyone can't rush forward.

Dong Jun waited for a while, and there were only more than 200 people who rushed over like him and could hide behind Juma.

Song Jun's armor was too thick, so he felt top-heavy when walking. Dong Jun was afraid that they would fall when he saw them walking.

Song Jun didn't care at all.

Before Dong Jun could react, he heard some noise behind him. He raised his head carefully and exposed his eyes. He saw that the Song army on the opposite side also knew that most of the Mongolian army had retreated. Only a small number of people were hiding behind the horses. The Song army began to Someone scaled the mud wall and formed a team.

There was no other way. He only had more than 4,000 people rushing forward. In just a few moments, he was hit by a flurry of flintlock guns and bows and arrows from the Song army. More than a quarter of them were killed or injured.

Almost everyone who rushed up was injured, and if they turned around and ran back now, they would almost be beaten to death on the way.

The subordinates were afraid that he would be trapped here, so someone hugged Dong Wenwei to prevent him from rushing up.

Now there is no way to advance or retreat.

These Song troops used to be city defenders, and their upper body armor was extremely thick.

"Shoot their lower bodies. The Song army has heavy armor on their upper body and heavy armor on their upper body."

Now Dong Jun and the others have to retreat further, turn around and run away, and they will be beaten several times by the Song army.

Shot alive by flintlock rifles.

The Song Army was holding gasoline bombs. Knowing that there was a Mongolian army hiding behind Juma, the Song Army planned to come over to clear them out and directly use gasoline bombs to reduce casualties in hand-to-hand combat.

As a general, he took the lead. He finally rushed to the front and waited for the brothers behind to come up. The result was bad, and the whole army suddenly collapsed.

Watch, watch, watch, the Song army looked extremely cumbersome when they climbed over the wall, but from the sound of it, they knew that their armor was quite thick.

The Mongolian army collapsed.

It turned out that Dong Wenwei knew that his father was behind Juma and ordered his men to continue attacking in an attempt to rescue his father. However, Dong Jun's men were all frightened by the Song Army's flintlock guns, and no one dared to attack at all.

Just as the Song army gathered, the Mongolian army behind Dong Jun also became confused.

Now, the Mongolian army retreated back to escape, but Dong Jun and his group of about 200 people managed to rush up, and now they are all hiding behind Juma.

The distance between the two sides is only thirty steps, and some people from the Mongolian army here are shooting arrows at the Song army.

Including those who were shot down by bows and arrows, the Mongolian army was close to losing thousands of people.

Anyway, I don’t know who took the lead in retreating first, and then the entire army collapsed immediately.

Dong Wenwei was furious and brought his own soldiers, preparing to charge again personally and collecting shields everywhere.

Dong Jun turned around and saw that his second son, Dong Wenwei, was arguing with his subordinates.

But the Song army still had shields. When the Mongolian army started shooting at the lower body of the Song army, the Song army put the shield up in front of them. The Mongolian army had no way to do anything.

Dong Jun looked around and saw that among the nearly two hundred people who rushed over with him, many were injured.

Dong Jun and others finally rushed forward, but everyone hiding behind Ju Ma was dumbfounded.

Many people were hit by one or two bullets, some were hit by bullets and arrows, and the largest number of people had three arrows stuck in their bodies.

Groups of Song troops were gathering over the wall, obviously coming to kill them.

Dong Jun also noticed that many Song soldiers were holding something in their hands. It was probably a new weapon. Thinking about it, he knew it would be difficult to deal with.

These Song soldiers used to specialize in guarding the city. The lower body would not be exposed because it was blocked by the city wall, so the heavy armor was all on the upper body.

But at this moment, the Mongolian troops not far away suddenly seemed to collapse. Amid countless screams and cries, the Mongolian troops twisted and ran away.

"Wanhu, what should I do?" The injured general next to him looked uglier than crying.

"Damn it." Dong Jun cursed loudly.

The gunshots were still ringing out on the battlefield, and the Song army did not have time to change their guns. Someone was already ready to explode the flintlock gun.

Everyone was trying to persuade Dong Wenwei that the Song Army's weapons were too powerful and those who struck them would die.

"My father is right in front. Even if I die, I will die with my father." Dong Wenwei was furious and pushed his subordinates away with all his strength.

The subordinates still hugged him tightly: "If something happens to the Major General, what will my brothers do? Thousands of families and children in Gaocheng are involved here."

Everyone's intention is obvious. If you charge again, everyone will follow suit. Everyone will be wiped out here. Everyone's wives and children are in Gaocheng, and some of them still have their parents alive. What should we do?
Dong Wenwei was stunned immediately.

He is a kind-hearted person, but he is not willing to let all his subordinates die.

Dong Jun was far away from his son and couldn't hear what they were saying, but when he saw his son trying to rush forward but being hugged tightly, he knew what was happening over there.

"Zhao Ke." Dong Jun shouted loudly.

"Wanhu. The young one is here." A soldier who rushed up with him was not far away. This guy was also timid and crawled all the way to Dong Jun underground.

The man was not seriously injured. He was shot in the right arm and shot in the left shoulder by an arrow, which were not considered critical.

Dong Jun said: "We may not be able to go back. I will lead the brothers to rush forward in a while. You should seize the time to run back and tell Wen Wei that the Song Army's weapons are too powerful and cannot be fought with the Song Army in positional battles. The whole army should be mobilized immediately." Return to the city and defend Gaocheng without surrender, in order to repay the kindness of the king (Muhuali)."

Zhao Ke nodded crazily, his eyes turning red at the same time.

He knew that Dong Jun no longer wanted to go back and had death intentions, and fought for cover and time for him.

"Wanhu, you run back, everyone can stand in front of you." Youbu said in a deep voice.

In fact, Dong Jun can also run back. There are more than two hundred people here who can stand in front of Dong Jun and help him resist the flintlock guns.

An ordinary general might have done this, but Dong Jun took the lead in every battle. How could he do such a thing? Even if he returned alive, he would become a laughing stock.

"As a general, how can I be greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"I have made up my mind. Those who are willing to fight with me will join me in killing the enemy."

"Those who want to go home, follow Zhao Ke and run back, we will help you block it."

The subordinates who could hear him nearby were all in tears.

Dong Jun commanded his troops well and treated his subordinates very well. Most of his subordinates were willing to die for him.

It's just that Song Jun's weapons were too powerful just now, and everyone couldn't stop them, so they subconsciously chose to retreat.

When Dong Jun said this, Song Jun behind him had already started to move forward.

Dong Jun saw that it was just right. As the Song army moved forward, it would be difficult to fire the flintlock guns and they would hit their own people.

He looked at the Song army with three to four hundred people holding spears and moving their shields forward. After walking about a dozen steps, Dong Jun stood up with a loud roar: "Serve the country, kill the enemy right now." "Kill!" ." Dong Jun's subordinates were all Han soldiers.

These Han troops shouted to kill the enemy for their country (Mongolia), and rushed towards the Song army across Juma.

Dong Jun held a spear and took the lead, rushing to the front.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Ke quickly turned around, squatted and ran back.

Seeing the Mongolian army approaching from behind, the Song army stopped one after another.

The two sides were now less than twenty steps apart.

The Mongolian army looked ferocious and approached step by step.

Everyone abandoned their bows and prepared to fight the Song army in hand-to-hand combat.

Sudden.

Someone on the Song Army side shouted: "Squat down."

Wow, Song Jun squatted down at the same time.

Some people on the Mongolian side subconsciously followed suit and squatted.

"Bang bang bang" I saw all the Song troops behind Song Jun standing up, holding flintlock guns and hitting Dong Jun and the others.

"Damn it." Dong Jun yelled wildly.

The Song Army did not respect martial ethics. It was obvious that everyone was preparing for a hand-to-hand fight, but the Song Army suddenly opened fire again.

There were about 200 people in this wave of Mongolian troops who could get behind Juma. In the end, there were more than 100 people who followed Dong Jun in the charge. There were more than 30 people who were more afraid of death and ran back directly with Zhao Ke.

More than a hundred Mongolian troops launched a desperate attack.

The Song Army's flintlock guns only fired one round, and they fell down in pieces on the scene.

Dong Jun was shot three times in a row. Although he had thick armor, he was shot into the body one after another.

He gritted his teeth and roared and continued to rush forward.

When he rushed within ten steps of the Song army, he looked out of the corner of his eye and saw that there was almost no one on the left or right.

More than a hundred people charged, but in the end he was the only one who rushed within ten steps of the Song army.

"Stand up." Someone yelled from Song Jun's side.

The flintlock guns of the Song army had stopped, and seven or eight Song soldiers were holding long spears, throwing away their shields, and swarmed forward.

"Kill the enemy." Dong Jun continued to rush forward like a madman.

Dong Jun's weapon was also a spear, but Song Jun's spear was longer than him.

Moreover, seven or eight people from the Song Army rushed forward. When they rushed in front of Dong Jun, one Song Army suddenly squatted down and stabbed Dong Jun in the thigh and calf.

"Pu Chi Pu Chi" Dong Jun was stabbed twice in the leg before he got close to Song Jun.

He groaned and tried hard to rush forward, but he couldn't stand at all and fell to the ground with a thud.

Puchipuchi, the Song army surrounded Dong Jun on all sides, and Dong Jun was stabbed with holes all over by seven or eight spears.

Today's offensive and defensive battle is truly the difference of the century.

The Mongolian army gave up their horses and attacked the fusilier formation with infantry.

In a short period of time, the entire army suffered nearly a thousand casualties.

The Song army suffered almost no losses. Only more than 200 people were hit by arrows, and most of them did not break the armor.

Just like in history, Dong Jun took the lead in every battle and finally died in front of the battle.

But he certainly didn't expect that his last final words would be directly tampered with.

When Dong Jun charged with more than 100 people, more than 30 people ran back. Some of these people were knocked down by the Song Army's flintlock guns and bows, and seven or eight people ran back.

Zhao Ke leaned on a shield and ran back alive, but was shot again in the back.

He found Dong Wei covered in blood. After thinking for a while, he said: "Wanhu asked the subordinate to speak to the major general before charging into the formation."

"The Song army's weapons are fierce and invincible. For the sake of the brothers and elders in the city, why not lead everyone to surrender."

After Zhao Ke finished speaking, he spurted out a mouthful of blood and died tragically on the spot.

Dong Jun asked him to watch and told Dong Wenwei to fight to the end and Gaocheng must not surrender.

When he arrived, he asked Dong Wenwei to surrender.

The reason why Zhao Ke said this was entirely because his parents, wife, and children were all in the city, and his younger brother was also in the army.

He knew that in all counties and states where resistance was fierce, after the Song army entered the city, the Mongolian army and their families would not be able to escape.

The Song army killed people more ruthlessly than the Mongolian army, and Zhao Ke was also afraid. After much deliberation, he persuaded Dong Wenwei to surrender for the sake of his family.

Dong Wenwei had originally intended to surrender. When he heard this, he immediately cried: "Brothers have heard it. My father has been loyal to Mongolia. As a son of man, how can I be disloyal?" It means, I have to listen. Father, I will surrender.

So this battle was fought inexplicably.

The Mongolian army first charged the Song army, and then suddenly sent people to say that Gaocheng was about to surrender.

To say that Dong Wenwei's sudden surrender also saved a small number of Mongolian troops.

The Song army on the opposite side had already crossed the horse and began to kill the injured Mongolian army who fell to the ground.

The Mongolian army suddenly expressed its intention to surrender, and Gao Zhong quickly ordered a pause, and he was overjoyed.

Gao Zhong never fought in any important battles in the first half of his life. The only time he went to Korea was with Lu Wende.

Moreover, he was not in the forward position at the time and did not win any battles.

This time I was ordered to station on the shore, but I didn't expect to encounter such a good thing suddenly.

Gaocheng, which had been managed by Dong Jun for more than 20 years, decided to surrender and let Gao Zhong, the agent, prepare to make huge achievements out of thin air.

After Gaocheng surrendered, there was no longer any danger to the Mongolian troops on the banks of the Hutuo River. Gao Zhong and the others did not need to garrison the banks, so they moved into Gaocheng not long after.

The Song army was also shocked when they entered Gaocheng.

After entering the city gate, you can see that the streets are full of mud and stone walls, which are exactly the same as the Haogou earth city built by the Song army outside. They also have a roof to prevent rain.

These mud and stone walls crisscross throughout Gaocheng, forming numerous alleys of various sizes.

Dong Jun was desperately planning to fight in the streets with the Song Army.

Even if the Song army invades Gaocheng, it will be very difficult to fight in the street.

Because the alleys in Gaocheng are made of mud and stone structures, the power of the Song Army's gasoline bombs will be weakened, and in street fighting, the Song Army will use a large number of gasoline bombs to reduce casualties.

In the past few years of the war between Song and Meng, the Song army consumed a lot of gasoline, and tried not to use it when it could not be used.

At this time in the Arabian Sea, the Song Army had just occupied a stronghold in Persia, and the purchase and collection of oil was still quite troublesome.

Gao Zhong obtained a great achievement out of thin air, which laid the foundation for his subsequent promotion.

After the Song army captured Gaocheng, they received nearly 20,000 surrendered troops from the Han army.

After another month of reorganization.

The Song army absorbed 11,000 young men as the Song army, among which 5,000 people and more than 1,000 people from the two high-ranking battalions formed the Gaocheng Army.

After the reorganization, the Gaocheng Army was commanded by Niu Xiaoyong, Gao Zhong was appointed as the first general of the Gucheng Army, and Dong Wenwei was appointed as the deputy general.

All the officers in the other 6,000 surrendered troops were replaced by Song troops, under the command of Tang Bo, and one general was Dong Wenbing.
